Vision 2031: An Education Blueprint for Two Thousand Thirty-one; create.

HB 217, titled "Vision 2031: An Education Blueprint for Two Thousand Thirty-one," requires Mississippi's State Board of Education to create a detailed education plan by 2031. The plan must include five specific goals: raising academic achievement above national averages (using NAEP, ACT, and SAT scores), preparing all students for college/career, ensuring adult literacy, promoting student health/safety, and providing equitable education. Key mechanisms include setting measurable objectives with timelines, strategies for implementation, progress indicators, and benchmarks - all tied to national/international standards. The bill died in committee in 2026 and never became law.
